This message has confused me many times too: we printed the status as
"Downloading" when we were only checking whether we need to install a
given version of a language server.
This fixes the issue for Node-based language servers where we had the
same check in all implementations.
Closes #22241
Release Notes:
- Fixed some language servers reporting status as "Downloading..." when
only a version check was being done.
This PR removes the gate that limited Assistant2 to development builds,
so that we can start testing it out in Nightly.
Note that currently this still requires explicit opt-in to the
`assistant2` feature flag.

Expands #18715
Release Notes:
- Added arrow keys movement to the built-in terminal's [vi
mode](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/docs/features.md#vi-mode)
(which is using Alacritty under the hood).
Details
--
A minuscule improvement on #18715 to allow user with alternative
keyboard layouts to use the terminal's vi mode with the arrow keys.
Fixes#22151.
Turns out Vim also has some weird behavior with sentence deletion in
case it's on the first character of a line.
Release Notes:
- vim: Fixed deleting sentence-wise (i.e. `d(` and `d)`), which would
previously delete the whole line instead of just a sentence.
This PR ensures that, for fixed-width fonts, the cursor width is the
same on blank lines as on non-blank lines, as well as at the end of a
line. It does so by using the em advance to define the cursor width
instead of the em width in these cases.
Note that this can look... bizarre on non-fixed-width fonts:

However, this is arguably reasonably consistent with how (terminal) Vim
handles it:

On Linux, the arrow cursor style currently used by Zed is `arrow`.
However, this style might not be available in most themes, causing the
cursor to fall back to system default theme. Note cursor style are
platform (X11 and Wayland) agnostic.
Most themes use `left_ptr` as their arrow cursor style instead of
`arrow`. In some cases, `left_ptr` and `arrow` are symlinks pointing to
the `default` style, but the `default` style is not guaranteed to be
available across all themes.
After inspecting the available cursor themes on popular desktop
environments, changing the default from `arrow` to `left_ptr` seems to
be available in all of them. `left_ptr` as default cursor style is also
mentioned in [Arch Wiki: Cursor
themes](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cursor_themes#Change_X_shaped_default_cursor).

Currently, saving files with `root` ownership or `root` as the group
throws a `Permission denied (os error 13). Please try again.` error.
This PR fixes the issue on Linux by prompting the user for a password
and saving the file with elevated privileges.
It uses `pkexec` (Polkit), which is by default available on GNOME, KDE,
and most Linux systems. I haven't implemented this for macOS as I don't
have a device to test it on.
This implementation is similar to how Vscode handles it. Except, they
don't show custom message.
**Working**:
When file saving fails due to a `PermissionDenied` error, we create a
temporary file in the same directory as the target file and writes the
data to this temporary file. After, the contents of this file are copied
to the original file using the `tee` command instead of `cp` or `mv`.
This ensures that the ownership and permissions of the original file are
preserved. This command is executed using `pkexec` which will prompt
user for their password.
**Custom Message**:
The message displayed to the user in the prompt is automatically
retrieved from the `org.zed.app.policy` file, which is located at
`/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/`. This file should be installed during the
setup process. While the policy file is optional, omitting it will cause
the user to see the underlying command being executed rather than a
user-friendly message. Currently, VSCode does not display the
user-friendly message.
The policy file must specify a unique binary, ensuring that only that
binary can use the policy file. It cannot be as generic as a
`/bin/bash`, as any software using bash to prompt will end up showing
Zed’s custom message. To address this, we will create a custom bash
script, as simple as the following, placed in `/usr/bin/zed/elevate.sh`.
The script should have root ownership and should not reside in the home
directory, since the policy file cannot resolve `$HOME`.
```sh
#!/bin/bash
eval "$@"
```
*IMPORTANT NOTE*
Since copying the policy file and our script requires sudo privileges,
the installation script will now prompt for the password at very end.
Only on Linux, if `pexec` is installed.

Release Notes:
- Fixed file saving with root ownership on Linux.
Closes#21505. This should work if the git dir is an ancestor of the
worktree dir or vice versa.
Release Notes:
- Fixed GitHub permalink-to-line actions when worktree dir and Git dir
aren't the same
The command used to activate the venv can still be accessed/scrolled to
if needed.
Release Notes:
- The Python virtual environment activation command is no longer shown
in the terminal output by default.

Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/21972
This fixes two bugs:
**Bug 1**: this bug caused us to only ever load a single environment in
a multi-worktree project, thanks to this line:
```rust
if let Some(task) = self.get_environment_task.as_ref()
```
We'd only ever run a single task per project, which is wrong.
What does code does is to cache the tasks per `worktree_id`, which means
we don't even need to cache the environments again, since we can just
cache the `Shared<Task<...>>`.
**Bug 2**: we assumed that every `worktree_abs_path` is a directory,
which lead to `Failed to run direnv` log messages when opening a project
that had a worktree with a single file open (easy to reproduce: open a
normal project, open your settings, close Zed, reopen it — the settings
faile caused environments to not load)
It's fixed by checking whether the `worktree_abs_path` is an absolute
directory. Since this is always running locally, it's fine to use
`smol::fs` here instead of using our `Fs`.
Release Notes:
- Fixed shell environments not being loaded properly to be used by
language servers and terminals in case a project had multiple worktrees.
- Fixed `Failed to run direnv` messages showing up in case Zed restored
a window that contained a worktree with a single file.
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/21972
For example, `editor::TabPrev` matches "editor: tab prev".
Release Notes:
- Added support for searching command palette using keymap-style action
names.

This PR implements menus for Linux and Windows, inspired by JetBrains
IDEs. Thanks to @notpeter for the inspiration.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7267fcdf-fec5-442e-a53b-281f89471095
I plan to complete this in multiple parts. While this PR delivers a
fully functional menus, there are many UX improvements that can be done.
So, this is part 1 of 3.
**This PR**:
- [x] Clicking the application menu opens the first menu popup. This
also shows other available menus.
- [x] While a menu is open, hovering over other menus opens them without
needing a click.
- [x] Up/down arrow keys works out of the box. Thanks GPUI.
**Future - Part 2**:
- Add keybinding support to open specific menus using `Option + first
character of menu item`.
- Add support for left/right arrow keys to move between menus.
**Future - Part 3**:
- Implement nested context menus in GPUI for submenus. (I haven't
checked if this already exists).

Closes#17005
Release Notes:
- Improved GPU context management: share a single context with multiple
surfaces.
### High Level
Blade got a proper support for Surface objects in
https://github.com/kvark/blade/pull/203.
That was mainly motivated by Zed needing to draw multiple windows. With
the Surface API, Zed is now able to have the GPU context tied to the
"Platform" instead of "Window". Practically speaking, this means:
- architecture more sound
- faster to open/close windows
- less surprises, more robust
### Concerns
1. Zed has been using a temporary workaround for the platform bug on
some Intel+Nvidia machines that makes us unable to present -
https://github.com/kvark/blade/pull/144 . This workaround is no longer
available with the new architecture. I'm looking for ideas on how to
approach this better.
- we are now picking up the change in
https://github.com/kvark/blade/pull/210, which allows forcing a specific
Device ID. This should allow Zed users to work around the issue. We
could help them to automate it, too.
2. ~~Metal-rs dependency is switched to
https://github.com/kvark/metal-rs/tree/blade, since upstream isn't
responsive in merging changes that are required for Blade. Hopefully,
temporary.~~
- ~~we can also hack around it by just transmuting the texture
references, since we know those are unchanged in the branch. That would
allow Blade to use it's own version of Metal, temporarily, if switching
metal-rs in the workspace is a concern.~~
- merged my metal-rs changes and updated Zed to use the upstream github
reference

Builds on https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/22160 and extracts
the rest of `PromptEditor` so it can be shared across terminal and
inline assistants. This will help avoid the UI drifting as we have
already observed.
Note: This is mostly a mechanical refactor. I imagine some things could
be factored in a better way by someone with more context, but I think
this is a good start.

This PR fixes an issue where disabled extension cards would block scroll
events when the mouse was over them.
Instead of using `.occlude`—which captures _all_ mouse events—we use
`.block_mouse_down` to just block mouse down events (to prevent clicking
the buttons on the disabled card). We also set the cursor style to the
default, as it was still switching to the pointer when hovered over top
of one of the buttons.
Release Notes:
- Fixed disabled extensions blocking scroll events in the extensions
list.

If an inline completion isn't shown in a menu, we highlight text in the
editor as deleted.
But if it's shown in the menu, we didn't even show deleted text, which
makes it hard to understand what's going on.
This fixes it.

This changes #22093 by making the change only have an effect for the
supported provider: Zeta.
Made the change because the UX is still experimental and I don't want to
break existing workflows for Copilot/Supermaven users.
Even Zeta users can opt-out of it by setting
`"show_inline_completions_in_menu": false` in their settings, in case
they want the old show-inline-completion-or-show-lsp-completion behavior
back.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Possible panic here in case we can't find the excerpt in the
multibuffer.
I thought this could happen when the inline completion references an
excerpt that disappeared from the multibuffer, but looking at the code
I'm not sure anymore - we use the same multibuffer snapshot in this
whole function and the `anchor_in_excerpt` method clips the anchors.
Still, let's be safe here.
Release Notes:
- N/A
We were committing the cardinal sin of subtracting one from a column
without clipping

Release Notes:

* Presence of the aside no longer affects position or size of the
context menu.
* Prefers to fit to the right, then on same side of line, then other
side of line, within the following preference order:
- Max possible size within text area.
- Max possible size within window.
- Actual size within window. This is the only case that could cause it
to jump around with less stability.
A further enhancement atop this might be to dynamically resize aside
height to fit.
Release notes are N/A as they are covered by the notes for #22102.

Previously, each window stored its own collection of focus handles. This
meant that to create a focus handle, you needed to have access to a
Window. I'm working on a simplification to gpui's context types that
removes `WindowContext` and `ViewContext` in favor of passing a window
reference explicitly when rendering or handling events. You'll still
need a window to manipulate focus, but it will be helpful to be able to
create focus handles without a window.

This PR fixes some formatting issues in the workspace initialization
code that stemmed from certain constructs causing `rustfmt` to bail out
of the formatting.
The bulk of the content of `initialize_workspace` has been factored out

the primary cause of `rustfmt` being unhappy.
